Abstract

Solar energy produced by concentrated solar heat collector panels requires tracking mechanisms for a more optimal direction. This paper presents the design and construction of a low energy solar tracking control system with telecontrol facilities. To accelerate the movement of the panel in always adjusting itself to the direction of the sun, a combination of the timer and light sensor was used. In this control system, the reference signal is taken from two pieces of light sensors while the feedback is taken from the position and temperature sensors. The program has been developed using C language and was implemented on the microcontroller ATMega8535 as the brain of the system. Telecontrol facilities for monitoring the data to a computer uses transceiver modules via RS-232 connection. A DC motor having power capacity of 0.74 watts was used and was clutched with 1:7,300 gearbox ratio. Experiments on light sensor characteristics and simulated movement of the panel were carried out. From the light sensor experiment it can be concluded that the sensor produces 0-4 volt output signal when bright 3.3-3.9 volts, when cloudy and 1.5-3.3 volts when sunny. From the simulation of panel movement, it is known that the solar tracking control system moves the panel and tracks the direction of the sun movement.

Abstract

Boost DC-DC converters are used in many renewable energy sources including photovoltaic and fuel cell. They are also used in Uninterrupted Power Supply, inverters, electric vehicles and robots. In this paper a boost converter was built and its controller was developed using proportional integral (PI) action for current loop and low pass filter (LPF) for voltage loop. The controller was derived analytically based on small signal model. Experiment results show that the boost controller functions well in regulating the output voltage under a variation of load. During the start up without any load it can elevate input voltage from 119.6V to output voltage of 241.6V. The developed controller can regulate the output voltage smoothly under load variation from no load to sudden load of 352W. When a large sudden load change happens from 0W to 1042W the output voltage experiences small drop before it is recovered to 241.6V. It can be concluded that the developed control system satisfies the design specification.

Abstract

Driver mechanism with two degree of freedom (MP 2-DK) is a robotic device that can be used for various applications such as turret drive system, gutling gun, launcher, radar antennas, and communications satellite antennas. The precision and the speed of a MP 2-DK are determined by its control system. The calculation inverse angle due to interference in six degree of freedom is necessary to control a MP 2 DK. This paper analyses three calculation methods of inverse angle which are iteration method using Jacobian matrix, reduction of matrix equations using positioning geometry, and an analytical derivation using a rotation matrix. The simulation results of the three methods showed that the first and the third methods could visually demonstrate three rotational disturbances, whereas the second method could only demonstrate the pitch and yaw (PY) disturbances. The third method required less processing time than the first and the second methods. The best method based on this research was the method of rotation matrix.

Abstract

Ocean Current Energy Conversion System (OCECS) is a promising green energy resource in this globe. The Thermohaline circulation data indicates that the Wallacea region has the potential of ocean current energy resources. This paper is aimed to propose research and development of OCECSs to be implemented in the Wallacea region. Firstly, four types of green energy conversion systems extracted from ocean are reviewed. Their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. Secondly, the potential of OCECS in the Wallacea region is described. Third, many types of turbines used for OCECS are reviewed and the turbine type for OCECS is selected to be implemented in the Wallacea region. Fourth, control strategy is proposed.From the work reported in this paper it is concluded that it is appropriate to implement OCECSs using axial flow water turbines in the Wallacea region, and that to maximize energy conversion variable speed control approach is selected together with control of mechanism to move the turbine vertically as well as to rotate the turbine in yaw direction.

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel three-axis flexible tube sensor designed for force measurement in electric vehicle (EV) charging port alignment, utilizing long short-term memory (LSTM) networks. The research aims to develop and validate a flexible and accurate sensor system capable of predicting multi-axis forces during alignment. The sensor integrates a magnetic sensor at the center of a flexible tube to capture three-dimensional (3-D) magnetic field variations corresponding to force changes. Fabricated using thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) via 3-D printing technology, the sensor leverages machine learning to predict force values along the , , and  axes ( , , ). Finite element method (FEM) analysis was conducted to assess the deflection characteristics of the flexible tube under various force conditions. Experimental results demonstrate that integrating LSTM significantly enhances the accuracy of force prediction, achieving an R² score exceeding 97 % for all axes, with mean squared error (MSE) values of 0.2819 for the -axis, 0.3567 for the -axis, and 2.8086 for the -axis. The sensor is capable of measuring forces up to 30 N without exceeding its elastic limits. These findings highlight the sensor’s potential for improving alignment accuracy and reliability in automated EV charging systems.

Abstract

This paper presents an evaluation of stereo vision based on the semi-global block matching (SGBM) algorithm for distance estimation in an autonomous parking scenario using the CARLA simulator. Distance-disparity regression functions are explored to enhance distance estimation accuracy. The proposed distance estimation model was evaluated using the design science research methodology (DSRM) framework, with experimental validation conducted in CARLA’s promenade environment. The evaluation employed root mean square error (RMSE) and relative error metrics to assess performance. Experiments were performed within a range of 40-350 cm, which is relevant for autonomous parking applications. The experimental results show that the algorithm achieves an overall RMSE of 1.69 cm and an average relative error of 1.1 %. The findings contribute to the advancement of perception systems for autonomous vehicles, particularly in challenging environments.
